King Cake rant

Cortisone shots last about a year for me. Since it's my pinky, it's not that inconvenient. It does hurt when it flares up though.
I’ve had 2 of those and they last 3-5 months. I was told I can’t keep getting those so next might be surgery. But I’m putting that off as long as possible. But it hurts when it’s at its worst and annoying.
